Volcanologists get ready for hiking to the summit of Kiska Volcano at sunrise. In the background Segula Volcano hit by an ocean of clouds. This photo was taken by Mattia Pistone during the field campaign aboard the R/V Maritime Maid, part of the NSF-funded Shared Platform for Aleutians research for the 2015 field season.
